Keep your headin the game.

Golf already gives you enough to think about. Your lie. Your club. The water you're pretending not to see. The last thing you need is a number bouncing around in your head on the walk to the green.

SimplyStroke holds the count so you can get back to the shot in front of you.

So easy!!

“I've tried so many live scoring golf apps, but like the name says, it's super simple. I got enough crazy thoughts in my head on the course, and this app is a total value add.”

Quick and easy

“Made keeping score a breeze, easy to navigate and enter shots, including unfortunately a penalty. Quickly found the course I was playing so no set-up required. Will be in my bag from now on.”

Before you tee off

Quick questions. Straight answers.

Everything worth knowing before your first tap.

01Is core scoring free?

Yes. Unlimited stroke counting on iPhone and Apple Watch stays free, including undo, penalties, finished scorecards, and standard group play.

02What does SimplyStroke Pro add?

Pro adds complete history, season stats and recaps, course playbooks, goals, private journals and shot details, paper scorecard scanning, saved crews, and multi-round trips.

03Do I need an account?

Not for a solo round. Create an account when you want Pro, device sync, or to host a group round. Friends can join group rounds as guests.

04Can I score from my Apple Watch?

Yes. Start the round, then score from your Watch while the paired phone stays nearby in your bag or cart.

05Are shot notes and photos private?

Yes. Private details stay out of shared scorecards, group results, leaderboards, emails, and season recaps.

06How does paper scorecard scanning work?

Photograph the card on iPhone, review the scores and pars SimplyStroke found, correct anything uncertain, and save only when everything looks right.

07How do friends join a group round?

Send one link or six-character code. Each golfer records their own shots and follows the same live scorecard.

08Does it work without a signal?

Solo scoring works offline. Live group scoring needs a connection so every golfer sees the same card.
